Note To Self

Never grill outside without wearing shoes.

Last night I was standing barefoot by the grill watching my grill girl grilling some meat and stepped on a red-hot coal. Damn, that hurt. I put the ice to it immediately, but my big toe is still toe up. Can barely walk.

On another matter, installed a Hummingbird feeder next to the flowers they love. Hummingbirds are way too cool.

Did you know they flap their wings 15 to 80 times per second (depending on the size of the bird). Per second.

    Don’t walk on hot coals unless you’re an Indian fakir, or G. Gordon Liddy.

    Kinda goes along with, “Never fry bacon while nekkid.” Trust me. Bad bad juju.

    Oh that reminds me – I need to make some nectar for my feeder. Where I have mine hung the little guys will actually “perch” on occasion – it is ever so cool….

    I love watching the hummers get territorial over feeders and start fighting. Truly amazing.
